In my version of that ending Hugh Grant is like, "good point... when can I start?" [roll credits]

not to pirate the thread, but Gene Hackman is one of my favorite actors. Funny that I haven't seen that movie.

And I think it is funny when the general population has a law backfire on them.

Here they wanted to make it so kids couldn't drink beer in the park (18 for 3.2 beer back then) so they passed a no alcohol in public places ordinance. Next settlers picnic they held the police officer informed them they couldn't have alcohol in the park. A city councilman tried to explain the rule was to just keep kids from drinking a the policeman said nope he had to enforce it for everybody.
This being a small town he was fired not long after that, but they do still enforce the law for everybody.

A pig was fired for...not being a pig? For upholding the law and ensuring equal protection?

not as bad now, but yeah in a small town (about 800 people) city council gets away with all kinds of shit.
On the other hand those same city councilmen can have their shit handed to them in a hurry also in a small town.
